.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...

Tonight through tomorrow night...

High pressure conditions continue to dominate the region with above
average temperatures in place. Persistent subsidence from this will
result in in the formation of fog developing again along the coastal
areas for tonight. There may also be some areas of patchy dense fog,
especially along the coastal areas. Some of this may penetrate
into the IE. The timing of this is somewhat finicky, although a
consensus of high pres models puts the initiation of this sometime
around 6 pm tonight, and then clearing out for most areas by
tomorrow morning at around 10 AM. Temperatures will be similar
tomorrow for highs, maybe only a smidgen cooler. Fog will likely
form again along the coastal areas and portions of the inland
valleys extending about 5 to 10 miles inland.

Thursday through early next week...

The ridge will continue to build ahead of an approaching major
shortwave trough which will be approaching the region by this
weekend. It will be considerably warmer on Friday as this occurs,
with temperatures running around 20 degrees above average for the
inland valley areas. As the trough continues to advance slowly
eastward, with will help to bring about a cooling trend going into
early next week, with the marine layer beginning to lift with
strengthening onshore flow. Looking a little beyond the forecast,
there is growing confidence with ensemble and deterministic models
alike which show an increasing chance of precipitation across the
region.
